    I firmly believe they'll extend the season slightly to accommodate a few extra games especially if fans (even if limited) are allowed come April/May.

    This isn't like 2020 where there was so much unknown. The virus is now mostly predictable and teams have taken an abundance of caution to keep everyone safe. Knowing you may shut down a team for 1-2 weeks, it is silly not to have a backup plan where you extend the season a little bit.

    If the 21/22 season starts slightly later like in November, I'm sure the League and the Kraken will be just fine.

    That being said, more multi-game sets reducing travel will likely be the norm now even if just to save cost via less air travel. Incrementally that'll save plenty of $$'s for each flight saved.
    One day I will quit fantasy hockey, today is not that day.

    My bad I guess I heard the "rumored" part of it.

    That's opening a whole other can of worms.

    This was the gist of the Athletic bit on it - the optics of them waiting and then going forward with a system that is perceived to be favoring getting one team in over another are terrible. Which means the NHL will do it. If there is one the NHL does well, its getting it wrong.

    Well at least there's no way they can lump Chicago in this year.

    They're either gonna have to let go of their end of season timeline commitment, or let go of some games.... I can't see this lasting if the cases keep up like this.

    Definitely not. Or at least not without pushing the end date back.

    I believe they're still planned. Just saw a bunch of roster projections this week.
